An elderly man was dragged off a Dundee street and had his wallet stolen.

The victim, who was left shaken by the attack, was on High Street in Lochee at around 11pm on Saturday when the incident happened.

His attacker dragged him into a lane that leads to Aimer Square before knocking him over and taking his wallet, which Tayside Police said contained "a large sum of money".

The suspect was in his 20s, around 5ft 10ins tall and of medium build. He had dark hair and was wearing dark clothing.

A police spokesman said: "Investigations are ongoing including carrying out door-to-door and CCTV inquiries in the area."

The elderly man was not injured in the attack.
